The Union is owned by Bill Baker, former owner of the Pleasanton newspaper.

Annette Womack scored heavily among voters in Iola’s Fourth Ward and rode that advantage to a 644 to 600 victory over Tince Little in the race for Commissioner of Streets and Utilities. Womack became the first woman elected to the City Commission.

LAHARPE — Ron Helman resigned Wednesday night as mayor of LaHarpe because he and his family intend to move to Iola in about six weeks. Helman had been elected mayor a year ago for a four-year term. He served four years as a La-Harpe councilman before being elected mayor in 1987. Councilman Lawrence Riebel was appointed to fill the unexpired position of mayor.
